After almost a year of people living in isolation, we wanted to bring people together with an event which supported people struggling with the after-effects of Covid-19. Our 2021 festival provided workshops specific to well-being such as yoga and mindfulness as well as more creative tasks such as expressive writing workshops. We also had Educational webinars designed to reduce stigma around mental health and a Q&A session with different organisations that provide mental health services in the area to increase awareness.

​

The other aim of the mental health festival was to raise awareness of mental health services and organisations in the Perth & Kinross area, raise the profile of Trauma Healing Together and forge links with other mental health organisations in the local area.

​

To deliver this festival, we partnered with the following organisations:

​

• Workplace Chaplaincy Scotland

• PKAVs

• Plus Perth

• All Strong Scotland

• Women’s Wellbeing Club

• Andy Mans Club

• Well minds listen

• Vitality Me

• Mindspace

• Linda’s Ladies

​

As part of the festival, 32 Events were delivered over 7 days, equating to over 44 hours of free mental health support and information.
